"I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now." -John 16:12

What Now?

Let me ask my Conservative friends this: how in the world did Trump go from being “the lesser of two evils” who I was told to vote for while holding my nose, merely because he is a shade less evil than Hillary, to being a person whose every statement and idea must NOW be defended as the best possible thing for this country? If anything his victory should allow conservatives to relax and STOP seeing the man through rose-colored glasses, and be willing to identify and distance themselves from the crass and obnoxious rhetoric the man has been spewing all year long. Instead a funny thing is happening. Conservatives are holding on to these things, while Trump himself is distancing himself from his old persona and making overtures of reconciliation and peace with the other side. Unbelievable!

For more in depth analysis of this new reality read the blog below. Yes, praise God, the greater of two evils has been defeated at the ballot box! Now we can move on and work together to keep a short leash on the lesser of two evils.

I’m not a liberal. I’m not a safe space, social crusader. I’m not a sore loser who can’t get over the fact that Hillary Clinton wasn’t elected president. The notion that I had to put what lukewarm support I had for a candidate behind her was a source of great frustration for me. I am, at my very core, someone with conservative foundations. I believe that men and women, whenever possible, should be free to live their lives without government intervention. My family and my Christian faith are the center of my life. I like my guns. Chances are, I’m better than you at using them. I’ve worked with and for the toughest most dangerous men on the planet-men you’ve read books about, men you’ve seen movies about. I’ll never claim to be one. But I’ve proven myself useful in their presence. I share this with you so you understand…
